One will be a fossil after only 5 years. Geez, 29 and over-the-hill. |

Brought my own computer with me in 1996.
Back then we also lived in shared accommodation- I lived in a new, huge 4 bedroom apt. with 3 other teachers. It was strange but, in retrospect, it was good as there were always others to hang out with. Had good/bad points- I have had some interesting roommates! |

Ah shared accomodations! I also had 2 roomates my first 2 years in Korea. One was great, the second one was a complete wreck.
We also had the great standard 6-day work week to enjoy. 
From a Busan standpoint we had just the one subway line as well so getting around was pretty daunting considering the crazy traffic. No KTX either. |

I tried all combinations of numbers, Korean and Sino-Chinese.
Can't make heads or tails of either. |

TJ was helpful. Why the snarky remark then Byrd?
Seriously, I do not get that. |

For the record I didn't take it as 'snarky'.
Grandpa? Yup, some of the kids coming over here now weren't even born when I first came here nearly 23 years ago.
I took it as a 'Thank you'.

^This. I seriously don't get why Pat is being so sensitive. Obviously you saw it for what it was. |
